FTP servers should accept some standard form of user name. This could be NIC idents or last name with optional use of initials. FTP Client boasts many elements of the Mac OS X interface, including Toolbars, drawers, live resizing and more, making it a pleasure to use.

Try this:

$ftp = Net::FTP->new( $ip, Debug => 0 ) or $newerr=1;
if ($newerr == 1) {
push @ERRORS, "Put descriptive message here. Reason: $!\n";
$newerr = 0;
# place goto here if you need to change program flow
}

Then, at the end of the script I process the @ERRORS array, and email any error messages to myself. There are probably better solutions, but this works for me.

I have written a Perl program to ftp data to a trading partner. I would like to learn more on how to capture errors on the connection.

Current Code:

$ftp = Net::FTP->new( $ip, Debug => 0 ) or die "Cannot connect to $ip :$@";

But I want to report the error either to a log file or capture the error to be emailed out to the support staff. The â€œdieâ€ command does not accept arguments like â€œprintâ€ or execute sub-routines. Iâ€™ve looked at the CARP function as well as the â€œevalâ€ function but donâ€™t really understand them. Is there a way to perform a sub-routine when an error happens so that a log entry or email can be processed?

Thanks...
